I just finished reading The BIG Book on the Lap-Band by Alex Brecher and Natalie Stein and Ultimate Lap Band Success by Dr. Duc C Vuong. Both were excellent and full of lots of helpful information. When I saw that they were available on my iphone as downloads I tried to choose between them and after reading the samples I decided that they were different enough from each other in content to buy both. I'm so glad I did. I know I'll be referring to them in the future, probably many times. Even though my doctor gave me a lot of information there was still more to be learned and I highly recommend either or both of them to anyone who wants to read more/learn more about lap band, both pre-op and post op .

Thanks I will have to check those books out, If you don't mind I will like to add to the list:

The Emotional First + Aid Kit: A Practical Guide to Life After Bariatric Surgery, Second Edition

by Cynthia L. Alexander

The Success Habits of Weight Loss Surgery Patients (3rd Edition)

by Colleen M. Cook

Thanks for sharing.

I bought Alex's book for the Kindle. I went through most of it in the pre-op stage. Now my wife is reading it to better understand all the changes I am going through and to better support me. I would also recommend it.
